The Georgia PE Comity Application form is a structured document designed for individuals seeking to be recognized as Professional Engineers in Georgia through the principle of comity, essentially acknowledging the licensure they have received from other states. It requires applicants to provide detailed information regarding their education, prior licenses, and work experience. This process involves a non-refundable application fee, and for those who hold an NCEES Record, certain sections of the application might be simplified, aiding in a more streamlined registration process.
The Georgia Pe Comity Application form serves as a critical gateway for professional engineers seeking to establish their credentials in Georgia through the principle of comity, or reciprocity, with other states. Managed by the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors, this meticulous document requires applicants to put forward comprehensive personal and professional information, starting with a non-refundable application fee of $70. Applicants must detail prior licensure, including any additional license types previously granted by the Georgia Professional Licensing Boards. Key sections demand exhaustive biographical details, affiliations, and precise addresses—both physical and mailing—underscoring the board's strict policy against P.O. Box addresses for physical location needs. Furthermore, candidates are scrutinized for any criminal, professional misconduct, or licensure infractions while also being asked about their existing NCEES (National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying) Record, which, if held, simplifies the application by waiving the need for multiple endorsements and verifications. Moreover, the form delves into educational background, requiring official transcripts and, for foreign degrees, a requisite evaluation from an approved provider. Beyond confirming the NCEES Council Record, applicants are prompted to outline their professional engineering experience thoroughly, demonstrating their eligibility through detailed engagement history and endorsement forms. Finally, the affidavit section mandates a solemn declaration of the truthfulness and accuracy of the provided information, coupled with an acknowledgment of the applicant's responsibility to adhere to state laws, rules, and regulations governing their professional practice. This organized and stringent application process is designed to ensure that only qualified, ethical, and accountable professionals are granted the privilege to practice as professional engineers in Georgia.

Filling out the Georgia PE Comity Application form is a critical step for engineers seeking to practice in Georgia under the principles of comity—meaning those already licensed in another state can obtain licensure in Georgia without going through the entire examination process again. It's important to accurately complete each section, providing thorough documentation where required. After submission, your application will be reviewed by the Georgia State Board. This review process ensures that all applicants meet the state's high standards for professional engineering practice. Here's how to complete the application:
Once your application is submitted, an acknowledgment will be sent to you. The review process may take some time, depending on the completeness of your application and the volume of applications being processed. Keep a copy of the entire application packet for your records. Patience and attention to detail will ensure a smooth application process.
The application fee for the Georgia Professional Engineer (PE) Comity Application is $70. This fee is non-refordable.
The application is specifically for the license type "Professional Engineer". Applicants can also list any additional licenses currently or previously issued by the Georgia Professional Licensing Boards.
Applicants can apply for the license by comity, based on an original PE license from another state. This means if you're already licensed as a Professional Engineer in another state, you may be eligible for licensure in Georgia through the comity application.
No, NCEES Record Holders are not required to submit endorsements, verification of licensure/exams, or transcripts, as these items are included in the NCEES Record. They're required to fill out sections 1 through 5 fully, however.
All supporting documentation must be sent in sealed envelopes with the back flap signed to ensure no tampering, and some documents may be sent directly to the Board by states/agencies/individuals.
The application must be signed by the applicant, and the signature must be notarized. This step verifies the truthfulness and accuracy of the provided information.
Applicants must disclose if they've ever been convicted or pled to offenses including felonies, misdemeanors involving controlled substances or dangerous drugs, DUIs, or DWIs. They also need to disclose any licensing disciplinary actions like revocations, suspensions, restrictions, probations, or surrenders, as well as any civil liabilities in the practice of engineering or land surveying. Documentation for these disclosures must be provided.
Applicants are asked whether they are registered as Professional Engineers in the state where they live. If not, they must explain why. This question may address concerns related to the comity process and ensures that applicants are in good standing in their home state or have legitimate reasons for not being registered there.
For Comity applicants proposing to practice or currently practicing Structural Engineering who have taken the PE exam in a discipline other than Structural, the Board requires a minimum of 60 months of Structural engineering experience after successful examination acceptable at the time of application.
Applicants who have had a name change since birth are required to disclose the reason for the change. This could be due to reasons such as marriage, divorce, or a legal name change.
Applying for a Certificate as a Professional Engineer in Georgia is a step that demands attention to detail. Mistakes can delay or even derail the process. Here are ten common errors applicants make when filling out their Georgia PE Comity Application:
While applying for licensure via comity can streamline the process for engineers already licensed in another state, attention to detail is key. Avoiding these mistakes can help ensure a smoother application process.
When submitting a Georgia PE Comity Application, applicants are often required to bundle it with additional forms and documents to demonstrate their qualifications and legal standings. These supporting documents are crucial for a complete and thorough evaluation of the application. Descriptions of commonly required documents are provided below to assist applicants in preparing their application packages comprehensively.
Gathering and preparing these documents in the correct format is a vital step in the application process for licensure as a Professional Engineer in Georgia through comity. It's important for applicants to precisely follow the requirements set by the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors to ensure their application is processed without unnecessary delays.
The Georgia PE Comity Application form is similar to various other professional licensing application forms, in particular, the application form for licensure by examination for professional engineers in other states, and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Record application. Each document requires detailed personal, educational, and professional information, aiming to ensure the applicant meets the rigorous standards set forth for engineering practice. However, they differ in specific requirements based on the pathway to licensure they facilitate - initial licensure, licensure in another jurisdiction, or licensure through a standardized national record.
The application form for licensure by examination for professional engineers in other states often includes sections similar to those found in the Georgia PE Comity Application form. For instance, both forms require applicants to provide general information, educational background, examination history, and professional experience. They also require documentation of any past disciplinary actions or legal issues pertinent to the applicant's eligibility for licensure. The main difference lies in the purpose; while the Georgia form is for engineers seeking licensure through comity, or reciprocity, based on an existing license in another jurisdiction, the examination licensure form is geared towards new applicants seeking their initial professional engineer license.
Another document that shares similarities with the Georgia PE Comity Application form is the NCEES Record application. The NCEES Record is a comprehensive document that includes verified records of an engineer's education, examination scores, work experience, and professional references. Like the Georgia comity application, it is designed to facilitate the process of applying for licensure in multiple states. However, the NCEES Record goes a step further by providing a centralized document that can be easily sent to any member board upon request, simplifying the licensure process for engineers seeking comity in numerous jurisdictions. This streamlines the process by eliminating the need to gather and submit multiple documents to each state board.
When applying for certification as a Professional Engineer in Georgia through Comity, attention to detail is not just beneficial; it's paramount. To navigate this process smoothly, here are five crucial dos and don'ts:
Conversely, here are practices to avoid during your application process:
By following these guidelines, you can present a complete and accurate application to the Georgia State Board, streamlining your path to becoming a Professional Engineer in Georgia through Comity.
There are several misconceptions about the Georgia PE Comity Application form process that warrant clarification to ensure applicants fully understand the requirements and can successfully navigate the application process. These misconceptions often lead to confusion and unnecessary delays in obtaining licensure as a Professional Engineer in Georgia.
Many applicants believe that the initial application fee of $70 covers the application for multiple licensure types beyond the Professional Engineer license. However, this fee pertains solely to the PE license application process. If an applicant desires licensure in additional categories or holds licenses in other jurisdictions that they wish to be recognized under comity, separate processes and potentially additional fees for each type might be required.
While the application permits listing both physical and mailing addresses, it stipulates that a P.O. Box is not acceptable as a physical address. This requirement underscores the importance of providing a verifiable physical location for the applicant, differing from the mailing address when necessary, especially if the mailing address is a P.O. Box.
Applicants who hold a current NCEES Record may assume that no further documentation is required for their application. While holding an NCEES Record simplifies the application process by negating the need for submitting transcripts, verification of licensure/exams, or endorsements directly, these applicants must still ensure that their NCEES Record is complete and up-to-date. They also must initiate the transfer of their NCEES Record to the Georgia Board for consideration, which is a step beyond simply holding the record.
Some applicants incorrectly believe that only degrees from U.S. institutions are valid for the purpose of licensure as a Professional Engineer in Georgia. While the application does require information on education, including the need for transcripts, it also allows for the evaluation of foreign degrees. Applicants who obtained their engineering degree outside the United States are required to submit an evaluation of their degree from an approved provider unless they opt to forego this evaluation explicitly. This pathway provides a clear avenue for individuals with international education to pursue licensure in Georgia.
When approaching the task of filling out the Georgia PE Comity Application form, a few key takeaways ensure a smooth process and enhance the chances of your application being approved without unnecessary delays. Understanding the nuances of this document is crucial for professionals seeking to formalize their credentialing in the state. Here are several essential points to consider:
Adhering to these guidelines not only simplifies the process but also ensures compliance with the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors' standards. Thorough preparation and attention to detail are your allies in submitting a successful application.
